In excess of 1,000 commercial flights per day are affected by GPS location spoofing. Writing this in an airport waiting for my flight to Barcelona, perhaps I should be a little more unnerved by that stat than I am!
I recently visited @CranfieldUni, one of the UK’s leading aviation research centres, to discover more about the growing issue of GPS spoofing, its impact on civil aviation, and the measures being deployed to tackle it. Speaking with Peter Terry-Brown from @Spirent, I learnt that:
✈️ 41,000 GPS spoofing events were recorded between the middle of August and middle of September last year.
📍 It’s not only aviation that’s affected by location spoofing, and it doesn’t only take place in active war zones.
🛡️ Like cyber security, there are a variety of testing, hardening and awareness measures needed to mitigate the threat.
Lots more detail in the video - and if you want to find out more about protecting commercial aviation against location spoofing threats, take a look at the ebook linked below.

Some great photos of our Materials workshops and equipment from 1962. Today we are still linking fundamental materials research with manufacturing to develop novel technologies and improve the science base of the manufacturing research. @Cranfield_MFG #CranfieldPhotoArchive

We offer a module on Referencing And Avoiding Plagiarism on your Canvas dashboard. It explains the role and importance of citing references and how to incorporate the work of other authors into your own work without plagiarising. Find out more: blogs.cranfield.ac.uk/librar…
ALT Image shows a woman with long blonde hair using a laptop, taken from above. She is sitting at a wooden desk and is wearing a watch with a brown leather strap. The text, in a red box in the top left of the image reads: Have you completed your Referencing and Avoiding Plagiarism module yet? We suggest you do this before your first assignment to ensure you cite your sources correctly and don’t inadvertently plagiarise someone else’s work. It is compulsory for taught students to complete the module, and highly recommended for research students. Find it on your Canvas dashboard.
